I ignore the option to set the opening balance for each account. Instead
I create a single transaction that has a massive amount of splits (one
split for each account that needs an opening balance). Highly unlikely
that all the credits will equal all the debits so the final split is to
the Equity:Opening Balance account to make everything "balance".
Sorry, I'm on the West Coast so 3 hours off from you.

I put in all the info - every transaction, for the entire tax year 2024
into GnuCash on my Mac and thought all was well. Then I saw that the
"Opening Balance" of my main checking account (under Equity) is 0 and then
spent the last 2+ hours trying to figure out how to add the opening
balance. I've even been consulting ChatGPT - to no avail. No matter how I
manually try to type in the Opening Balance for that checking account, it
automatically creates a "decrease" or debit for the same amount and I'm
back to 0 again - literally.
I sure would appreciate some help - especially via a phone call. I'm in the
Asheville area of North Carolina which is in the NY time zone. Could
someone contact me between the hours of 9am - 9pm, Eastern Standard Time?
Kind regards,
